GCM: (Sponsor - Illinois DOT, Indiana DOT, and Wisconsin DOT)

The GCM Corridor is one of four "Priority Corridors" throughout the country. The corridor includes the greater metropolitan areas of Gary, Chicago, and Milwaukee as well as portions of southeast Wisconsin, northeast Illinois, and northwestern Indiana. The corridor was defined to allow for a wide range of solutions for movements throughout the corridor. The intent of ITS is to improve mobility by better managing the existing transportation system, rather than simply building new roads. The goals of the priority corridors are to provide an operational testbed for ITS projects where they have the greatest opportunity improve regional traffic, provide "showcases" that will help maintain public awareness and support for ITS development, create strong institutional relationships that will lead to greater regional cooperation, and provide an opportunity for effectively testing new technologies.
